Power Redefined. Carmen Reborn.

She’s not just playing the game—she’s running it.

Meet Carmen like you’ve never seen her before. In Annabelle Lopez Ochoa’s daring new vision, she’s not just a seductress—she’s a strategist. Bold. Unstoppable. In control of her own fate.

Inspired by Hollywood blockbuster Molly’s Game, this Carmen doesn’t wait for fate—she deals the cards. Every move is calculated, every glance a challenge. The stakes? Power, passion, survival. And she never bets on anyone but herself.

This World Premiere is a game of desire and deception, where power is won, lost, and taken. But be warned—once you enter Carmen’s world, there’s no turning back.

Carmen After Dark
ONLY IN MIAMI

Carmen After Dark

Join us for Carmen After Dark—a high-voltage afterparty on Friday and Saturday evening, only at the Arsht Center. With a live DJ, theatrical performances, signature treats and libations, and immersive projections by MadArts, it’s a full-sensory celebration of Carmen’s bold spirit.

Free with your ticket, this after-dark experience keeps the fire burning long after the final bow.

I had nothing to lose, and so much to gain. I felt free and alive.
